Harrisons expands operations with the acquisition of Ecotech

Harrisons, the British manufacturer of nonwoven wipes, has acquired Ecotech (Europe) Ltd, a company based in Coventry, England, and specializing in the manufacture of high-quality wet and dry wipes for distributors and wholesalers. With this transaction, Harrisons expands its capabilities and anticipates significant growth, leveraging the strength of the Ecotech brand and its focus on sustainability.

This acquisition represents a strategic step forward for Harrisons, which will now produce and distribute wet wipes for the first time in its 134-year history. According to the company, this new phase will allow it to expand its product range without compromising the high standards of quality and service that characterize its business. The acquired manufacturing structure will also bring more flexibility to meet customer demands.

“Joining Harrisons is great news, and the team is already looking forward to the new chapter. Harrisons is a family business that is synonymous with the very highest standards in the industry, and we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and seize the opportunities this new platform for growth presents”, said Jason Lippitt, director of Ecotech.

The integration of Ecotech comes shortly after Harrisons entered into a logistics partnership with Magnum Logistics, a move that modernizes its supply chain through BREEAM-certified sustainable warehousing, expanded storage capacity and advanced inventory management technology.

With the completion of the acquisition, Ecotech will operate under the name Harrison Wiping Limited.
